Hitschler was heavily involved in helping land nearly half of the 22 players in UW’s 2024 class. Will coach safties and be Co-DC. He worked with new Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack at South Alabama from 2016-2017. Seems like a great recruiter but not a ton of coaching experience considering the position he is hired into. LINK

What was that 2024 Wisconsin class ranked?

Asking for a friend.

I get your point. It ranked like #23. I was surprised it ranked that high when I checked. Who wants to live in Wisconsin? Its like Canada. Alabama is too cold for me. They're never going to have great classes there. It like the Arkansas of the Big10. Recruiting is very relative on many factors.

What the hell does a quality control coach do anyway?

Nearly half? Seems vague tbh

You’d have to be a fricking idiot to not get kids to Alabama anyway.

I think Alabama is going to be well coached compared to Saban’s Rolodex running thin at the end for coaches but hard not to wonder how their classes look from their usual star gazing.

So Bama hired a Yankee with no relations to southern HS coaches.

He was at South Alabama, the Bama coaches being hired are underwhelming at this point.

Other than your hope he’s a great recruiter, show me the evidence for him being a great recruiter.

People want to say recruiting and NIL ran Saban off, but if you listen to his comments it was really that he just didn’t have the gas to be deeply involved with all facets of the team week to week. He made a commitment to focusing on the defense more than usual because it was a mess in 2022; his offensive staff really let him down in 2023. He was trying to hire good coaches and they were all concerned about his age. He just couldn’t do the 6 AM to 2 AM the next day work hours anymore. There was no more capacity for his personal work ethic and grind to drag all phases of the game (coaches and players) to a higher level. There was never going to be a 2015 season coaching staff where almost all of them are head coaches now. Those were some of his best teams in the mid-2010s but also probably some of his easier personal coaching jobs because the staff could carry the load. 2023 was probably the most work Saban had put in personally in years and it still wasn’t enough to drag the staff to capable. That’s how he knew it was time to call it quits.

Just because we have never heard of the coach does not make it a bad hire. Kirby has hired two or three coaches from outside of the SEC footprint, and they have worked out well
